Thanks for this, Dave. You’ve come as close as you could in this kind of forum to doing her justice.

No, they don’t die. Epinephrine is produced naturally by the body and the dosage administered by an Epi-Pen is nowhere near toxic. Rapid heart rate is the most likely adverse effect.

Auvi-Q was recalled over a year ago because a batch of devices was filled with inaccurate doses. I think this massive error bankrupted its small manufacturer. Mylan (Epi-Pen’s manufacturer) also did its best to keep Auvi-Q from ever coming to market in the first place.

As I understand, they are often responsible for cleaning and maintenance, even construction at times. (Lawrence Wright’s book describes how the Sea Org had to build special bridges for Tom and Nicole to walk across as they approached one of the Scientology buildings.) So, physical labor as well as work like food prep.

This is all horrendous and in keeping with the cult’s practices as they’ve been exposed. But it should be pointed out that Sea Org is not high-level — they are low level, essentially the slave labor that keeps the organization’s compounds running.
